About this book

Edward Gibbon's "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" is a monumental six-volume work that covers the history of the Roman Empire from the end of the 2nd century AD to the fall of Constantinople in 1453. The book is considered one of the greatest works of historical literature in the English language and has had a profound influence on the way we understand the ancient world. Gibbon's approach to history was heavily influenced by the Enlightenment, and he sought to apply reason and critical thinking to the study of the past. In the book, Gibbon examines the factors that led to the decline and eventual collapse of the Roman Empire, including political corruption, military overexpansion, economic instability, and the rise of Christianity. He also explores the complex relationships between the various peoples and cultures that inhabited the empire, from the barbarian invasions to the Byzantine Empire.

Oxford Handbook of Pompeii and Its Environs
Pompeii is the most famous archaeological site in the world, and arguably where the modern discipline of archaeology began. Excavations here began over 250 years ago, and discoveries are still being made, both as the result of excavation and because of the ongoing reassessment of previously discovered material. <em>The Oxford Handbook to Pompeii and its Environs</em> presents an up-to-date assessment of our current state of knowledge, not just about the city of Pompeii but including its hinterland and the neighbouring archaeological sites of Herculaneum, Stabiae, Boscoreale and others. This <em>Handbook</em> is at once historiographical and cutting-edge, covering how scholarship has evolved over the long history of excavation and the current developments in fieldwork and scholarship.

Lost Art Rediscovered: The Architectural Ceramics of Byzantium
<p>During the tenth and eleventh centuries, splendid Byzantine buildings were enriched by colorful ceramic tiles decorated with an impressive range of figural and ornamental patterns. Despite their widespread use, traces of this important decorative medium have, for the most part, disappeared. Relegated to museum storerooms, hidden in private collections, buried under layers of construction, and eclipsed by more durable media, polychrome tiles have until now been denied their full role in our understanding of Byzantine decoration and aesthetics. </p><p> <i>A Lost Art Rediscovered</i> includes a fully illustrated catalogue of all known tiles produced in the region of Constantinople, including the substantial collection owned by the Walters Art Museum, as well as those belonging to museums and private collections around the world. Some tiles included in the catalogue are now lost; the discovery of others is reported here for the first time. A series of scholarly essays gives the ceramics their rightful place in the study of Byzantine art and treats aspects of patronage, manufacture, function, ornament, and cultural significance. This comprehensive publication heralds the first large-scale, permanent installation of the Byzantine tiles in the collection of the Walters Art Museum.</p><p>Contributors include Jeffrey C. Anderson, Anne Bouquillon, Anthony Cutler, Elizabeth S. Ettinghausen, Cyril Mango, Marlia Mundell Mango, William Tronzo, and Christine Vogt.</p>
